    Easy Autumn Leaf Lanterns

    / No Comments

    If you are looking for a fun, but simple, fall craft…look no further!  This craft requires very little supplies and the results are simply beautiful!

    Making Sun Prints (Cyanotypes) with Children

    / No Comments

It involves exposing materials which have been treated with a solution of potassium ferricyanide and ferric ammonium citrate to a UV light source such as the sun. Negative or positive images can be obtained by blocking UV light from reaching the sensitized material. For example, a…
